Hearings are being scheduled for two brothers facing firearms charges that stem from a domestic dispute last month at Manitou Beach. Anthony Wayne Burke, 46, and Jeffrey Lynn Burke, 43, both of Manitou Beach, waived arraignments Wednesday in Lenawee County Circuit Court.

A July 31 pre-trial hearing was set for Anthony Burke on felonious assault, felony firearm and carrying a dangerous weapon charges. A hearing date is to be scheduled for Jeffrey Burke.

According to Michigan State Police reports, an argument between the two brothers escalated on June 25, with both arming themselves with .40-caliber handguns. No shots were fired, reports said.
